Description
It’s hard to believe that in 1901, Cameron University held its first classes in the basement of a bank. The school has grown substantially since then, with an average fall enrollment above 5,000. While many large public institutions suffer from a lack of individualized attention, Cameron works to maintain the small school atmosphere even as it grows. The university’s student-to-faculty ratio is low, so you’ll get the benefits of small class sizes in a large school setting.
Cameron also provides the extensive resources that make large universities appealing. The school recently opened a new forensics lab for Criminal Justice students, as well as the 32,000 square foot School of Business building, and the McMahon Centennial Complex for student activities.
The school’s academics also present a wide variety of opportunities. Cameron currently offers the following bachelor’s degrees:
* Bachelor of Arts
* Bachelor of Science
* Bachelor of Accounting
* Bachelor of Business Administration
* Bachelor of Fine Arts
* Bachelor of Music
For those interested in a two-year undergraduate program, there are also Associate in Science and Associate in Applied Science degree programs. Since the 1980s, Cameron’s graduate school has offered master’s degrees in Education, Science, and Nursing.
